Howdy! I'm delighted you’ve stumbled upon my online portfolio. . . Here you'll find samples of my professional work in varying creative spheres, as well as some independent projects. I am deeply passionate about enlightenment and entertainment through the arts, while flexing my creative muscles any chance I can get.
​
I recently published my debut poetry book, concordia discors, a collection of 37 poems that explore the beauty of contradiction. You can find more details and how to buy a copy under the Poetry section of this site!
​
Previously, I was the Assistant Auditorium Manager and Assistant Technical Theatre Director at Ferris State University where I worked closely on all productions that took place in the Auditorium on campus. Before that, I was the Production & Administrative Assistant for Rochester University's Department of Music and Theatre, as well as the instructor for their Music Ensemble course. I am a 2019 graduate of RU where I majored in Musical Theatre. The time I spent earning my bachelor's degree allowed me to enrich my skills in the performing arts - acting, singing, voice, and movement - as well as expand my knowledge in the technical theatre disciplines of set construction, scenic painting, board operating, assistant stage managing, and scenic design.
​
Outside of my involvement in the arts, I love to go on hikes with my hubby, try new cooking recipes, crochet anything and everything, and improve my yoga practice.

ARTISTIC MISSION STATEMENT
I think I’ve finally figured it out!
I’ve finally tasted TRUE truth.
You see, the Answer TO
The spark inside of Us,
(The reason why happiness
Trumps the blues)
Is because every Adam
In EXISTence,
Is racing Towards
Utter Perfection:
Faster than we can imagine,
But slower than we can bear,
And the dissonance comes
As a -side- effect,
One that our Conscious
Can’t help but s h a r e.
My scars tell the ~sTOry~
Ascribed TO the Gods:
Each vicTOry reVEILed
Through a smile...
I can only ImagIne
Who the aud-ience
Might be;;; so I’ll think of
Him as a Child.
TO Look At Each Day
ThrOOugh a new set of Eyes;
TO Love as the Moon and
The Sun share the sky;
TO turn idea(l)s inTO ACTions
That spin the World of ForTUNE;
TO believe in the beauty of Man,
What’s past and what’s before Him;
TO WONder WITHout the FORget;
TO gather so that I can give;
TO search TO search TO find;
TO listen before I deSIDE.
